What makes a good affordable gaming pc?
If you're shopping on a budget, prioritise the parts that matter most:
CPU and GPU
Your processor and graphics card are responsible for frame rates, smooth gameplay and overall performance. Always prioritise these over extras.
RAM
16GB is now the modern minimum. If you can stretch to 32GB, it’s a great investment for future-proofing.
Storage
Choose an NVMe SSD over an HDD for faster loading, better responsiveness, and smoother gameplay.
Monitor pairing
Even the best PC needs a good display. A 1080p 144Hz monitor is the sweet spot for budget builds. Explore our finance options available.
Can I upgrade my budget gaming PC?
Yes, all our builds use standard components, making them easy to upgrade later.
What games can I run on a budget gaming PC?
Esports and indie titles run brilliantly. Modern AAA games will run well with optimised settings.
How long will my PC last?
With proper maintenance, a budget PC can last 4–6 years, with easy upgrade paths for even longer life.
